Construction
The layout of AquaGear consists of:
​
-
Rubber/Silicon top
-
Plastic Filtration system which includes
-
Cotton mesh
-
Mixture of carbon and polymer resin
-
Cotton mesh
-
-
​Plastic/Brass Container
-
Gear
-
Main piece
-
Cover piece
-
​
All of these parts will be held together in the container made of plastic and brass. This way, the gap between each individual piece in the product does not account for the leakage or malfunction of the product.

Following the mesh is the mixture of activated carbon and polymer resin beads, which will be the main source of filtration.
Filtration System
The top of the filtration system will contain a cotton mesh through which water will first flow through. Cotton is highly absorbent and therefore will maintain the natural flow of water instead of slowing it down or speeding it up, something that it likely to occur if other materials are used.
Cotton Mesh
The body of the filter will be composed of plastic and brass. The combination between brass and plastic allows for durability while keeping it light enough to be attached to the faucet.
Container
The gear will be the final component to finish off the modified filter. The top most part being the main piece, while the bottom one being the cover where a notch would be attached for mobility.
Gear + Cover Piece
Another cotton mesh will end the package as a way to trap any other particles as well as ensure proper water flow.
Cotton Mesh
The part that attaches to the faucet will be made out of rubber and small amounts of silicon. These material are both flexible and sturdy and can attach to various faucet models and sizes. This will eliminate the problem that comes with specific sizes and also prevent leakage as both are adhesive materials.
